*Ring Ring*
The last bell of the school week rang, and Gilbert hastily darted out of his classroom. As he ran down the hallway, he ran into Antonio and Lovino.
"Hey, Gilbert! Where're you headed?" Antonio shouted. "Me and Lovi are going to hang out today and tomorrow for Valentine's Day, do you have someone to hang with?"
Lovino glared at Antonio. "I never agreed that that, you bastard!"
Gilbert smirked. "I'm hanging out with Feli-chan and my bro today!" and ran off towards the school entrance.
"...Huh? Hey, get back here, you potato-eater!" Lovino yelled. "Don't you dare go after Feliciano!" Before Lovino could go after Gilbert, Antonio held him back.
"Aww, come on, Lovi! It's good to see Gilbert hanging out with someone other than me or Francis!" Antonio smiled.
Lovino looked at him with a menacing scowl. "...Fine. But if Feliciano comes back to me crying, I'll see to it that those potato bastards see a fate worse than WWII. Got it?"
Antonio gulped. "Got it."
...
At the front of the school, Feliciano and Ludwig were patiently waiting.
"Ve~, I can't wait for today! We can walk around town, eat at an Italian restaurant, hopefully see some other couples!" Feliciano smiled.
Ludwig looked at him. "Are you expecting to see some of your...friends?"
Feliciano looked excited. "I befriended someone in my P.E class, and he told me that he's trying to get that person to love him! He's going to be with that person at the pier today!"
Ludwig continued to look at him. "Is it really that exciting? Love, I mean?"
Feliciano nodded. "Si! When you love someone, you feel warm and fuzzy inside! Haven't you ever felt that way, Ludwig?"
Ludwig began to think. "I vaguely remember loving someone back when I was younger...but I can't remember who it was..."
Feliciano frowned. "I hope you remember! Ve~, it sounds like a romantic novel!" He smiled again.
Ludwig blushed. "Uh...I suppose it does."
The school doors opened, and Gilbert ran out of the school, stopping in front of Feliciano and Ludwig.
"Sorry I took so long! Antonio and your bro stopped me in the hall!"
Feliciano looked worried. "I hope Lovino didn't say anything mean to you?"
Gilbert smirked. "He was yelling something to me, but Antonio held him back."
"I'm glad." Feliciano smiled. "Alright, let's get going! We'll walk around town first, ve~!"
And with that, the three of them walked towards town.
...
As they were walking around town, Feliciano looked at each and every window display in awe. He was especially intrigued at the pet store, where they were displaying kittens.
"Ooooh, I love that fluffy black kitty!"
Gilbert chuckled. "You're so cute, Feli-chan!"
Feliciano smiled at that comment. Ludwig was staring at the kitten rather intently.
"Do you like the kitty too, Ludwig?" Feliciano asked.
Ludwig looked at him, then back at the kitten. "Something like that..." When he looked at Feliciano, Feliciano blushed slightly, looking innocent. Ludwig then blushed as well.
As he was watching the scene unfold in front of him, a weird feeling appeared in Gilbert's heart. Once again, he couldn't tell what it was. Afterall, he's never felt that way before. But whatever it was, he felt like he was hurting on the inside.
"Alright...what should we do next?" Gilbert asked.
Feliciano looked at him. "Oh, right! Why don't we walk down to the pier! One of my friends is there right now!" Feliciano said, and ran off. Gilbert and Ludwig followed him.
Along the way to the pier, Feliciano took note of some of the couples. Two people in particular, Feliciano recognized from his art class. He felt really bad for the taller one with spiked up blonde hair, for when he tried to kiss the shorter emotionless one, he ended up getting choked with his own tie.
"Kesesesese! They're obviously NOT awesome!" Gilbert laughed.
Ludwig took out a small notebook from his pocket, and began to jot stuff down. 'When you love someone, you choke them.' 'I don't understand love at all...'
They finally arrived at the pier, and Feliciano began looking around. There were many couples looking at the ocean. Feliciano's eyes stopped at one particular couple (?), who obviously stood out from the rest.
"Aww come on Artie! Pleeease go to the movies with me?" A voice whined.
"I said NO, you bloody git!" Another voice yelled.
"Hey, that's my friend right now!" Feliciano smiled.
Gilbert and Ludwig looked at each other.
"Hey, Feliciano!"
The three of them looked in the direction of the voice. Two people walked towards them.
"Alfred!" Feliciano smiled. "What are you doing?"
"Dude, can you convince Artie to go to a movie with me?" Alfred asked.
The young man next to him looked irritated. "My name's Arthur, and I said NO!"
"But why?" Alfred pouted.
"Bloody hell, that's a MAKE-OUT MOVIE!" Arthur yelled. Some girls who overheard him began giggling.
"Don't you love me, though?" Alfred asked with puppy dog eyes. Those goddamn puppy dog eyes.
Arthur looked away. "No. To be honest, you're one of the most annoying people I've ever known."
When Feliciano looked at Arthur's face, he could tell that he was blushing profusely.
"...I'm going." And Arthur walked away.
Alfred looked sad. "He's just playing hard to get."
Feliciano patted Alfred on the back. "It's okay, I know that Arthur likes you, ve~!"
Alfred smiled. "Yeah, you're right! Well, I'm off to go persuade him again, see ya later!" And Alfred ran after Arthur.
"...I know they'll work it out. I just know it!" Feliciano cheered.
"Aren't you a romantic, Feli-chan!" Gilbert smiled.
"?" Feliciano looked confused.
"Well, I guess even fags like him can find love, right?" Gilbert teased.
"..." Feliciano frowned. "...Don't talk about my friends like that."
"Huh?" Gilbert looked confused.
"I said..." Feliciano looked up, his eyes tearing up. "...Don't talk about my friends like that!" And Feliciano ran off, crying.
"H-Hey, wait-!"
Ludwig punched Gilbert in the jaw.
"Oww! What was that for?" Gilbert asked, rubbing his cheek.
"You know damn well what that was for." Ludwig said angrily.
"!" Gilbert winced. "It was just a joke! I didn't mean anything by it!"
Ludwig glared at him. "Obviously, HE didn't think it was a joke." Ludwig began to walk away, but paused for a brief moment. "...Did you ever think that maybe you offended Feliciano for another reason?" And with that, Ludwig was gone, leaving a confused Gilbert behind.
"...What the hell does that mean?" Gilbert yelled. '...W-Wait...could he have meant that Feliciano's...sh-shit!' And Gilbert ran off in the direction of Feliciano's house. 'Not awesome, this is not awesome at all! Feli-chan...I should never have said that!'
...
Gilbert finally made it to Feliciano's house, and desperately banged on the door. The door swung open.
"Feli-!" Gilbert began. But the person who opened the door wasn't Feliciano, it was a very pissed off Lovino.
"...So...YOU'RE the one who made my brother cry?" Lovino cracked his knuckles.
"I came here to tell him I'm sorry! Please, let me speak to Feli-chan!"
Lovino glared at him. "Like hell I will! Damn potato bastard!" Lovino lunged at Gilbert, tackling him to the floor. Gilbert, however, had a natural gift for fighting and quickly turned the tables on Lovino. In a matter of minutes, Gilbert was on top of Lovino, who was face first on the floor. Gilbert held one of Lovino's arms behind his [Lovino's] back.
"Can't I just talk to him?" Gilbert persisted.
"Suck my balls!" Lovino yelled. "You're not going anywhere near Feliciano!"
"I don't think you're in any position to talk back, Lovi..." A voice said.
Gilbert looked at the doorway to find Antonio standing there, smiling at the scene.
"Hey, Antonio! Let me in the house so I can apologize to Feli-chan!" Gilbert yelled.
Antonio began thinking. "Well, seeing as how it's not my house...you'll have to get Lovi's permission."
Gilbert looked down at Lovino, who was still underneath him.
"Please let me in, Lovino...I promise that I'll never make Feli-chan cry again..." Gilbert said.
Lovino bit his lip. "...Fine. But you better not make him any more sad than he already is. He's locked up in our room...upstairs, first door on the right..."
Gilbert smiled. "Thanks!" And he got off of Lovino and ran into the house.
"Damn bastard..." Lovino murmured.
Antonio helped him up. "I think he's perfect for Feli-chan!"
"Feliciano deserves more than THAT." Lovino growled.
Antonio chuckled. "You're too overprotective, Lovi." He put his arm around Lovino. "...So...am I deserving of you?"
Lovino remained silent, looking away from Antonio's gaze. "...Shut up."
...
~Feliciano's Room~
Feliciano was lying on his and Lovino's bed, staring at the ceiling.
*Knock Knock*
'?' Feliciano sat up. '...Lovino...?'
"Uh...Feli-chan?" Said a familiar voice.
'...!' Feliciano stood by the door, but didn't open it.
"Umm...you don't have to open the door...but just hear me out!" Gilbert pleaded.
Feliciano listened intently behind his door.
"I didn't know I offended you...I shouldn't have called your friend a...you know..." Gilbert bit his lip. "I thought I was being funny, but from the way you reacted...and with my bro's help...I realized that it wasn't funny and that I offended you..."
Feliciano could hear Gilbert cry a little.
"I'm sorry...I'm so sorry...!" Gilbert wiped his tears. "You don't have to forgive me, I'll understand..." Before Gilbert could finish his sentence, Feliciano's door opened, and Feliciano stood in front of Gilbert. His eyes looked slightly red. Then, all of a sudden, Feliciano lunged forward and hugged Gilbert.
"Feli..." Gilbert's eyes widened.
"I forgive you, Gilbert..." Feliciano said, his head buried in Gilbert's chest.
"Can I...come into your room?" Gilbert asked.
"..." Feliciano gently nodded, and led Gilbert into his (and Lovino's) room.
...
After an awkward silence, Gilbert looked at Feliciano.
"So...I was wondering...you seemed pretty upset." Gilbert tried to think of a way to say what he wanted to say, without hurting Feliciano. "Um...when I called your friend...that...were you offended?"
Feliciano looked at him. "Of course I was...I don't like it when people are mean to others..."
Gilbert shook his head. "No, that's not what I meant...were YOU offended?"
"...!" Feliciano looked down.
Gilbert moved closer to Feliciano. "Feli-chan...are you gay?"
Feliciano looked at him. He slowly nodded his head.
Gilbert's eyes widened. "I'm so sorry, Feli-chan!" He hugged Feliciano. "I promise to never use that word ever again!"
Feliciano hugged him back. "It's alright, Gilbert...I know you're sorry..." Feliciano smiled.
Gilbert smiled back. He closed his eyes. 'Why do I feel...all warm and fuzzy inside...?' "Hey...Feli-"
When he opened his eyes, he saw that Feliciano had fallen asleep in his arms. Gilbert smiled gently at the Italian, and lied down on the bed. 'Is this...love that I'm feeling?' He smirked. 'Heh...funny...I've never felt that emotion towards anyone but myself...' Gilbert slowly fell asleep, with Feliciano sleeping right beside him...in his arms.
Aww poor Feli-chan...but I'm glad that Gilbert and Feliciano made up xD
Now, onto other things...pairings. I want to add more pairings to this story, but I'm not sure how many...or which ones. So I'll leave that up to you! Here are the pairings I came up with, and let me know via review or PM which one(s) you want to see appear in my story!
1. Greece/Japan
2. Russia/China OR Russia/Lithuania (which one?)
3. France/Canada
4. Denmark/Norway (should there be more of this pairing, or was the cameo enough?)
Pairings I already decided on: Germany/Italy/Prussia (duh), America/England, and Spain/Romano.
**Also! If there are any other pairings you'd like to see make an appearance, please let me know! I won't make any promises, but if there's a way to incorporate them into my story, I'll try my best to do so!
**One more thing! (LOL) Should I add Korea into the story as well?
**And another thing! Do Denmark and Norway have canon names? And if so, what are they? (And if they don't, what should I name them?)
Thank you so much for reading my story, and please review!
PS: I was thinking of writing a USxUK fic...should I write one? USxUK is my favorite APH pairing, and it would help me not get another writer's block (since I'm focusing on another story and not just this one...and another story I can't seem to get over my writer's block on).
AITHR33: So sorry about the grammar errors...I tend to make a lot of typos when typing ^_^". And about Ludwig's personality...I'm not that good writing about characters like him. I prefer and am better writing about hotheaded characters (like Lovino).
And I wasn't planning on making both Ludwig and Gilbert sleep...that was a coincidence, to be honest. So...no, them both sleeping had no meaning to the story. And don't worry...I have an idea for the ending ;D
BakaRamenBowl: Haha your review actually got me out of my Writer's Block, so thank you so very much! I kept thinking 'How should I write the next chapter...' and then I saw your review! I hope you enjoyed the little problem I got Gilbert into xD
